How Farms Work is a UA-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R. We also run a John Deere 9510 combine.
Be sure to subscribe for new videos every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
I think Ryan and Travis make great farm videos what ya think folks? give them a big thumbs up.
Wayne Rogers Absolutely spot on!!!
Best thing about farming has to be the new life 🐑🐮🙌
somone pissed in the vegans cornflakes ^^
Jerry Thompson stop being a snowflake
Tom I like your channel
Jerry Thompson I m the fifth or sixth generation raising cattle and you must not know anything about farmers your an idiot we bring them in the house if they start freezing after birth we put them in barns to calve and spend every night and day checking the cows for issues it's people like you that comment on something you nothing about go get you a salid and a soy burger if you not able to handle it
Jerry Thompson -- Why, is that what you want to watch so you can yank your junk to it? Go away, animal snuff fetishist.
Tough love is about holding someone prisoner until they love you😂😆
Jerry needs to bug off. This is how farm life is. The circle of life. His comments are uncalled for.
Great vid ryan. Messing with those babies not only keep them from being psycho, it starts the relationship.
Great example of animal husbandry!
Report the account for harassment.
Gotta love self-professed animal lovers who don't give enough of a fuck about animals to learn anything about them. They don't care about animals, just some idea they made up about what they think they are. They like to use animals for their little stories because animals can't laugh at them.
John Hunter Yes, absolutely agree with both of your comments
Congrats on the new baby. Is the babies mother a good mother? Thanks for the video.
Great looking calf!!!! Congrats!!👍
Love the video on the First calf , Ryan love to see you and your brother feeding the cow .
Where I live in Wisconsin we 11 inches of snow yesterday
How old is your bull?
First comment? Do you typically try to have your beef cows freshen in spring as opposed to earlier in the year like other producers do? If so, is there a reason for that other than the lack of warmth in the winter? First calf, yay! RIP Rosie.
Another thing you could do for Farm Day is to have someone who lives in the area bring they're Draft horses over and pull a trailer for rides!!! I know a lot of vegetable farmers do that around here and it's allways a good time for everyone. Talk to you later and thanks again.

That's a very involved question. It really depends on what kind of operation you're applying for and the size of it. If it's a small farm, you're probably going to be doing something of everything, including the some of the manual labor yourself. On larger operations you may be sharing the work with several managers, each of you doing something different...this person might be overseeing the finances, that one is overseeing livestock care, and that other guy may be in charge of sales.
Farmers need to be jacks of all trades and be able to do a very wide range of things. In a very general sense you will need some strong math skills, marketing, sales, people skills, solid knowledge of the biology and ecology of your stock and your location, understand legal knowledge of the agricultural laws and regulations of your area, safety knowledge (because farming is a great way to die early), and being able to troubleshoot all manner of mechanical, financial, and physiological problems of your plants, animals, people, and profits.
You need to be able to make sound decisions on what stock you want to work with (plants, fungus, animals, etc.), how much seed or stock to order, draw up planting and harvest schedules, figure out how you're going to plant and harvest it (there's a million different ways to do things on a farm), be able to manage people and tell them where to go and what to do, be able to keep your equipment and technology serviced, manage schedules for all employees, understand how the market works, decide when and to whom to sell your crops to for maximum return, figure out how to meet production goals, budget and manage cash flow, and most of all be creative and being able to innovate with what you've got in order to solve problems...because dealing with curve balls you TOTALLY didn't expect out of left field is a constant in agriculture.
If you have no experience, then you're going to need a solid college education to get you started. You can get accreditation as a farm manager.
Farming is an interesting job where you get to deal with all manners of highs and lows and "WTF?!" moments. You will need all your brains and brawn to pour your knowledge, blood, sweat, life, and tears into what you do with very little thanks or money for any of it. You will be angry, stressed, exhausted, frustrated, fed up, and wonder what the hell you are doing with your life A LOT. You will ACHE in ways you cannot comprehend and suffer physically as you age and your body wears out from the stress, labor, and environmental factors.
You're also going to see and do amazing, beautiful, wonderous things not many people get to do anymore. Sunrises that will take your breath away. Thrills watching a newborn calf standing for the first time, or seeing the first green pokes coming up from the soil. Bust a gut laughing, and loving, and crying, and praying with the people around you. You will feed the WORLD.
If this is your dream, your calling, your passion, then you won't want to do anything else and will smile on your deathbed. Let NOTHING stop you from achieving your dream.
Best of luck and we hope to see you in the field someday. :)
longtail4711 -Were you talking about my question? I was talking about Farm Day and bringing in some draft horses and not about a farm manager. I'm not sure who's question you're referring to?
Mark Mortensen -- Ugh, i'm sorry Mark. I was replying to someone interested in learning about the requirements for being a farm manager, and UA-cam royally screwed up its comments section's functionality so it moves text into the wrong places.
longtail4711 --No problem I've done that before. Thanks for getting back to me.
What do y’all mix up for feed just corn or some other additives? We get feed from the local farm store and was wondering what others feed them that can make their own.
You pronounced Oregon wrong... its sounded out "Orygun"...not "Oragone"
I know how ole Rocket feels......LOL
sorry to be picky but its not Ore-gone its ore-gun. really enjoy yours and Travis' videos
It would be easier if you grab the loose skin by there back leg then grab near there front leg and the skin near the back leg and flip it then get on it
Calves aren't only cute, they're Delicious
Hey Ryan what breed of dogs do you have? they looks nice and friendly and a cane breed of dog
anyone else see that random fertilizer spreader of some sort in his shed, did he do a vid on that? If not then he should and explain why its there.
hows jamie, we havent seen her in ages??
I think they call that Stockholm Syndrome.
Do you know yet now the new tariffs on soy beans are going to affect you ?
What camera r you using in this video
Can you do a tour of your barn at your place
He seemed to sit there pretty good for you.
How much cattle do you have?
Not sure if I missed it or not, but, any new developments on the large bin that was collapsing?
Is he gonna be a steer or bull?
Love farm babies.
Make sure your insurance covers all of your planned activities for the farm day.
Hey Ryan, thank you for the new Nikes! (Kidding!) I bought a bunch of Goth clothes in Minneapolis last spring myself! (I've never been that far east.) Hate that stuff!
I love my 4-h cow
You just had to say spring was here... we just got 8 to 10 inches. Thanks ryan... Lol
I can't wait to have the weather you've been having lately.... getting tired of the snow and cold with calving.
Enjoy two videos today! Be sure to check out our other video released today! ua-cam.com/video/uHl_XxR9s1o/v-deo.html
Lucky for you catching your debit card... I was hit with a $150 something charge that went through at a clothing store in the U.K. Then a $2300 charge got flagged at the same place... I've never even been to the U.K.! Had to go into my bank branch and it took way longer than it should have to get it sorted out, but I eventually got all my money back.
Had me all excited, when talking about the farm day! Are you keeping the bouncy house a surprise? 😀😀 congratulations on the first calf of the year! Spring is coming!
Hi is soo cute. Mom was pretty good too. Your sky is always so pretty there not like Michigan always cloudy. Very nice video!!😊
My momma cows make that same mooing sound when I'm banding or tagging their calves. Funny how it's so recognizable. Good call on only keeping the easy going momma cows. We cull for disposition first!
Your lucky. We had 6” of snow last night and I’m less then 2 hours north of you.
Awesome video. Keep it up. What brand of cattle are u running?
Thank you Ryan, you are right the babies are cute and easier to handle vs 3-4 weights, LOL. Rawhide!
I use a preloadable debit card, that has a limit..that way, even if it is hacked, it does not link to my banking acct, if it happens often you might want to look into it
Congrats on the new calf! Best of luck this year with crops!!
What shots do you give your calves
Like selenium or vitamins a/d etc
You said it to loud yesterday I was fishing and today it's in the 30s to 40s and hail and weather says 80% of snow
One more thing. Did you use that credit card on your vacation to Colorado??? I had it happen to me when I was on vacation. It was some of they're summer time help at a resort. They used a bunch of people's debit and credit cards so they are in prison for five years.
Congrats on your first calf of the year we only have about 20 left to calve and 90 on the ground
Beautiful calf, Those feed mills were a god sed to the farmers, but killed the feed mills.
Ryan, thanks for showing us the new calf and the tagging process. Glad to see Rocket along for the ride. Looks like he doesn't like the steps of that tractor.
Awesome video man! That calf was really cute!
we have the same tags as yo and we just tagged a new calf yesterday with the number 61 but ours was a heifer
Always nice to see new life on the farm... Thanks for sharing Ryan...
I just got hit from behind by a heifer cow and went face first into a continues fence
it was nice seeing you work with cows that's what farming is
What is ur set up if you have to help a cow calve. Do u check them daily
Nice calf, good vid of tagging, Cheers!
Love your channel Ryan, be safe out there.

“Yep, those are your nuts” best quote so far
Starts snowing outside...
How many beef cows do u have
How do you prepare the tags-with Iodine?
Never do. They haven't caused any issues that would require it in our history.
@@HowFarmsWorkis that a bad thing if the steer's are out of corn?
Couple of nice videos.

Identity theft is the sign of our times. Hell I have been a victim 3 times now. We need public hangings back...............
